Its the same marketing jazz that makes people believe they can actually achieve the wireless speed advertised for their router.

Telus guarantees the speed between the model and the dslam

Telus isn't that bad.... sometimes, always tried to fix stuff they screwed up. (like optik tv)
I wouldn't be too dissapointed with your 19mbps I've got telus too and that sites telling me i've got a whopping 1.07mbps dl speed.

If people with accents or anyone for that matter, phone our house I play games with them. Especially poll takers, tell marketers, wrong #'s. It's the best when you play the game of seeing how long someone will hold for if you keep answering the phone & then saying I have to get my dad. trust me it works well. :P

Telus.. Horror stories. I have many as well. The last one was when I signed up for their 1-yr promo a couple of years ago. I made sure I took a screenshot of the promo because I didn't trust them. Within 4 months, they secretly raised the price back to regular price. I called to tell them that my 1-yr promo hasn't expired yet so they reverted the price for me. Next month, they secretly raised the price again. I called again and the price was reverted again. The next month, they secretly raised the price again. I've lost tracked of how many times I had to call them. It was at least 4 months that this happened. This is just one example out of many over the past 20 years or so.
